Briefs: No sunset for Sunset magazine

The fate of Sunset magazine, headquartered in Menlo Park, looked uncertain earlier this month as news broke about its parent company's plans to spin off its magazine division.

Time Warner Inc. announced on March 6 that its board of directors had approved a plan to separate Time Inc. and have the magazine division become an independent entity. The split should be complete by the end of 2013.

Sunset magazine, a monthly lifestyles publication, will continue, according to Time Warner spokesman Keith Cocozza.
